Chapter 1004
Before Ethan entered the cave, he told Brent, “You heard it, didn’t you? I have to stay for the detox.
“Bring some men with you and handle the chaos out there. Since there’s nothing serious about Krystal, send her back too.”
The corner of Brent’s l*ps twitched at how Ethan abandoned his brothers the moment he found Olivia.
Ethan was trying to drive them away so that he could spend time
alone with her.
“Okay, Mr. Miller. Cyril shall stay as the messenger.”
There was no network in the village. The villagers used pigeons to pass letters to keep in touch with people.
“Okay. Go ahead. Do not tell anyone about my whereabouts.”
“Got it.”
In the name of work matters, Ethan made sure others wouldn’t disturb
his moment of reunion with Olivia.
Nevertheless, it would really be good news if the couple could
reconcile.
The sensible Brent left the area instantly.
When Olivia was boiling the water, she realized that she had driven
the others away too quickly.
Now that Brent was gone, who was going to remove Ethan’s clothes?
She couldn’t pass a message to Cyril through a bird like Willow did,
either.
Olivia convinced herself in her head, “Fine. I’m a professional. He’s just a normal patient.”
“Take your clothes off.”
“You turn around.” The show had to go on.
Crossing her arms, she tilted her head. “Do you think I wish to see your b*dy? It’s meh.”
She heard him muttering behind her. “It’s more than meh.”
Her face turned crimson instantly as she thought, “This pervert! Does he treat every woman this way?”
“Done,” he reminded her.
Previously, Brent had always been the person guiding Ethan. Now that Brent was away, she had to take it upon herself.
Olivia tried her best not to look at him. “Give me your hand.”
Holding his hand, she guided him with the way. He didn’t do anything
that crossed the line.
After that, he got into the bathtub obediently.
It was difficult to remain in the bathtub. Before this, he pulled through
without complaints.
But now that he was aware of Olivia’s presence, he was willing to take
pleasure in it.
She didn’t know what was on his mind at all.
She found some herbs nearby and mashed them to collect their juice, which were ingredients to treat his eyes.
Ethan stayed in the water for an hour before Olivia came over to
remind him to get out of there.
Steam was rising from his b*dy.
Holding her hand, he stepped down the stairs slowly.
She led him to the rim of the spring. “Stay in the water a little longer.
Your robe is here.”
“Thank you.” He quickly withdrew his hand as though she was some
sort of a monster.
Although she knew that he didn’t like touching others, his actions
made her uncomfortable.
She crouched by the spring while holding the bowl of juice. “Come
here.”
He swam toward her.
“Close your eyes. I’m going to apply medicine to you.”
Ethan rested his arms on the rim of the spring, whereas Olivia knelt on the ground and leaned slightly forward.
Her long hair flowed over her shoulders, brushing his collarbones.
The closer she was to him, the more obvious the woody scent was.
He was confident that this doctor was the
Meanwhile, the oblivious Olivia reminded him softly, “It’s kinda cold.
Hold on.”
“It’s alright.”
She smeared the juice on his eyelids with a wooden stick before bandaging his eyes,
The bandage that covered his eyes softened his features.
“I could still make out the outline of an object before this, but I can’t see anything now.”
“Once you recover, you can see anything you want.”
He suddenly blurted, “The person I wanna see the most is you.” Comment by soonyoung gu: would put meds to blind him lol
It seems Ethan only ever married Olivia to take revenge for what happened to his little sister. While Olivia is plagued by her sickness, he holds her chin and says coldly, “This is what your family owes me.” Now, she has no family and no future.
Her father becomes comatose after a car accident, leaving her with nothing to live for. Thus, she hurls herself from a building. “The life my family owes will now be repaid.” At this, Ethan, who’s usually calm, panics while begging for Olivia to come back as if he’s in a state of frenzy …
